STIRLING MEDICAL INNOVATIONS

Stirling Medical Innovations are one of Scotland’s newest start up organisations established by Inverness Medical Innovations with the objective of being a leading player in the research, development and manufacturing of home testing kits for cardiovascular disease. Significant investment has led to the creation of a state of the art manufacturing facility to deliver new market leading products.

The recruitment challenge facing Stirling Medical meant that the range of high calibre individuals and skill sets would be broad and that these individuals would be coming from potentially small pools of candidates across the UK.

After considering a range of options Stirling Medical engaged Escape to work on these diverse positions on a project basis. Escape were able to establish a range of candidate acquisition strategies. Including national advertising in scientific publications, Europe wide Internet advertising and CV bank searching, all of which have been supported by Escape’s candidate database and networks.

By working in close partnership we have been able to establish frameworks to ensure efficiency with a genuine understanding of the organisation’s culture and aspirations. An effective and rigorous approach that not only supports the immediate recruitment need but also underpins on-going staff retention.

JACKIE FLEMING | STIRLING MEDICAL INNOVATIONS:

'In the hectic pace of a start up organisation we were starting from scratch. We had no recruitment process in place and knew that we needed to hire high calibre individuals to ensure the delivery of all of our business objectives. Escape listened to our needs and with each hire we made improvements to our recruitment practice. They asked us lots of questions so they really understood what we were looking for from both a technical and cultural viewpoint. In summary, they took a lot of pressure off us and still allowed us to deliver the highest standard of candidates we need to take the business forward.'

SATWINDER PANESAR | THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE:

'Escape does not operate like other recruitment agencies, i.e. to act on behalf of the client only, but instantly starts to act on behalf of candidate as well, providing motivation, instant feedback, and immaculate follow-ups. Most importantly, the consultant I dealt with was the most aspiring, enthusiastic and motivating consultant I have ever come across.'
